Dragon Chicken (Indo- Chinese Cuisine)

Dragon Chicken is a real tasty appetizer for all those who love Indo- Chinese cuisine.I got familiarised with this very chicken recipe in one of the TV shows and the look itself dragged me out to try out this very recipe.A tempting recipe to fall in love with and tastes very good too.I heard another rumour about this recipe too.If any one is familiar with Mango Tree Restaurant in Cochin,Kerala(owned by filmstar Dileep),it is said this recipe is one of the famous cuisines out there.I never had the opportunity to visit that restaurant and will surely wish to visit it sometime.

The recipe is very simple easy and a dry spicy dish .It fits into all occasions and perfect as an appetizer, side dish or main dish with fried rice.The boneless long slender cut chicken pieces are marinated and shallow fried or deep fried and then blended into sauces.I opted the shallow frying to avoid excess oil..
